RIVERBED of the mighty Indus near Gaimro dyke witnesses an unusual bustle with a combined harvester, a costly machinery, being used for wheat harvesting on one side and a heavy duty modernised tractor employed for even distribution of fertiliser to ensure spring cultivation of sugarcane, on the other.
The newly sown crop is then watered using groundwater lifted through tube-wells.
Ghotki is located on the left bank of the Indus and its command area is fed by Ghotki feeder canal of Guddu barrage, the first barrage over the Indus in Sindh, while the riverine area near Gaimro dyke, where mechanised means are being used for spring cultivation of sugarcane, falls within the jurisdiction of the Katcho Bhindi police station.
